FA Cup Third Round

Eastleigh v Bolton Wanderers

 

[Sparrow]

As said on another thread, we just need to try to keep on picking up points this month whilst we find a replacement for Holman, anyone else who leaves and get rid of some dead wood. Good time for Wrexham to play us and also for us to play them.

 

[Harrier94]

No game this weekend again means we're still undefeated in 2016

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Not expecting anything then a loss after the last 4 games. Hopefully the real Wrexhan turn up and we might have a chance at a point or 3

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

If we were any good, I'd go to Barrow... as it is, even I can't be arsed with away games at the minute.

Im more hopeful. Surely we won't lose 4 in a row?...

An ugly win would do me.

Got a touch of can'tbearseditus myself too. Think this game might get called off.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Dry weather dances now please!

 

[Chris FGR]

Dry weather dances now please!

I hear you've got pumps which are helping keep the pitch playable atm. Barring a deluge how do you rate your chances of getting the game on?

Is it worth making plans to travel?

 

[Mark kavanagh]

The barrow groundsman was taking the covers off the rugby league scoreboard in anticipation of our visit

 

[PaulHaddock]

Ahhhh Welling. The only place where the burgers smell worse than the toilets.

The pitch drains very well now and yes there are underground pumps workong away. Club say the pitch is fine right now, we've only had a light shower so far today and the breeze has picked up to help. There's nothing forcast to worry me so I'll see you at Nethermoor

What's the pitch like - any chance of it being called off?

Eastleigh V Bolton Wanderers

Footballs 'back to the future' clash

 

[DarkSithLord]

You missed a fixture out.

Eastleigh V Bolton Wanderers

Apologies. Totally forgot about your cup tie! Will add it in now.

 

[B2TF]

You missed a fixture out.

Eastleigh V Bolton Wanderers

That's because nobody cares. Is that clear?

 

[Ian Richardson]

Looking forward to our upcoming "Back to the future" cup game. Lots of people working their nadds off trying to get pitch fit. Weve had alot of rain down here in the past week. Pitch looked pretty good when I left the ground late this afty.
Nice to be attending my teams biggest ever game. When a few on here just talk about the past

SNAP! Aside from Chester away, if I can get a ticket, don't think I'll do another away this season. It will be interesting to see how many SWA bother to go. We took 845 to Morecambe last season, would be surprised if we get half that number for this game. Expecting a draw.

Sums it up when fucking Bolton is your "biggest ever game". Most of the real clubs on here would need to be playing Chelsea/Arsenal/Man City/Utd (again)

Played Bolton a few times in FA and League Cup, nothing new to us. Oh and we beat them too.

 

[B2TF]

Rules state you can't have a "biggest ever game" against a side you've played in the league, so I'll leave you Tin Potters to it.

And you wonder why Eastleigh and its supporters have a bad rep on here.

[Monkey Tennis]

Unless it chucks it down in biblical proportions, we'll be alright. Our pitch is one of the best in non-league these days, just had a couple of bouts of freak weather lately.
We're looking to do the double over Tranmere, and we've got a chance as it doesn't look like you're in great form. Neither are we though, so draw it is.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Important game for us tomorrow against 3rd bottom Brackley Town. Need the win to keep them at arms length really and avoid being dragged back in the relation mire. A win would also mean we are up to the 30 points mark. Think another 15 more and you are easily safe this year.

 

[eightiesrobin]

First home league game since 21st November. No one of the best non-league wingers ever, and no Reeves

 

[EnglishRed]

Nah we've got a proper pitch

No mention of it being off and despite a fair amount of rain is been pretty windy up here which should help it dry. After fucking up the pitch last season it's been put right for this.

 

[CrazyImp]

Just need to find a win, it's been over a month and a half now.
